No joke, summer is the worst season. I loathe being hot. All I ever want is to need to wear a heavy coat. Also, I think some people really are just genuinely drawn to melancholy. The darkening days are romantic to some of us.

I got my wife a sapphire solitare on fancy-pants platinum band. This was shortly before Kate Middleton got engaged. After that happened, people started asking her if I got her a sapphire because that’s what Kate Middleton got.

Lol! My mom got married the year before Diana and Charles and her ring is just like that, basically a mini version of Diana’s down to the number of surrounding stones, but unknowingly made before Diana’s. It has bothered her over the years when people thought she copied Diana though. Comments come often at all, but if…

I have a similar ring - dark blue oval sapphire with halo in platinum with two half moon diamonds on the sides. I only got a couple “very Kate Middleton/Princess Diana” comments. Most people just said it in addition to “very classic” type sentiments. You should be okay :)

opals tempered with unicorn tears - putting that on my ring upgrade list for when we get rich

This. You don’t “find yourself” being a piece of human garbage. It’s a conscious choice. He chose it. He’s not a victim of circumstance, and no external power kept him from doing the only moral thing: asking his wife for an open marriage and failing that, exiting his marriage.

I do like that anyone who objects to infidelity was preemptively called a “hater,” though. Stay classy, Tracy.

I didn’t like any of this. As someone who has been cheated on multiple times, this made me queasy. I didn't like his answers or candor about it. No I will not "find myself in this situation someday", if I am with someone and want to be with someone else, I'll end my current relationship first cuz I'm not a fuckhead.

Pot-ta-to, Po-fuck-them.

The Only Moral Abortion is my Abortion is one of my favorite things ever.

And that some of the men have pressured women into having abortions, or at the very least enthusiastically supported their choice to have one. The only moral abortion is my abortion. Every damned time.

Re: Gluing the tip jar down:

IIRC, the Hobby Lobby ruling explicitly singled out birth control, it said this type of religious belief couldn’t override insurance coverage of blood transfusion, or medical care in general, etc. It only affected contraception.

Yeah, the blackmailer has a motive to lie about that so that there’s more excuses for it to be published. Pretty transparent, but not transparent enough for intrepid reporter Jordan Sargent.

Shall I continue?

Are any of the victimized women closeted homosexuals? Please follow your usual policy and provide a list.

Off-topic: Jezebel, I love you, but what the hell is going on at Gawker Headquarters? There needs to be a statement/apology for the David Geithner story. I feel dirty coming here now...

Having a bout of skepticism regarding this site’s social justice orientation as long as the blackmailing-and-outing Gawker story stays up, and Jez writers defend it. Do you defend it Ms Lodi, like your colleague N Vargas Cooper?

Great plan! My best friend did exactly that, except she had a chill civil ceremony in the morning and then a fantastic brunch afterwards. Why would you deny yourself the joy of wedding waffles and day drinking?

This is really unnecessary.
